Hi my name is Melissa and I Love to Garden and am an avid "Do it Yourselfer", I have done many projects over the years from tearing down walls to building a pool house and creating a home and yard that we call home. We live in Ohio, zone 6 (previously zone 5) and have lived at this home for 8 years now. When we first moved in I tried to be very frugal, buying plants on clearance and nursing them back to health. Today they are strong and beautiful! Gardening is very rewarding when you get to look back at all the before and after (or during) pictures.....and to dream and plan for the future.
In summer do you have to cover them to protect them from extreme heat and harsh sun? I had one of these, it was doing great in the pot then i was told to plant it in the ground and it died in the ground. I believe the 2021 summer killed it when we had 3 straight weeks of over 100 degree days consecutively.
The finished product looks great! You mentioned power washing the porch. Power washing used hot water whereas pressure washing uses non/heated water. Everyone uses the terms interchangeably but as a professional pressure washer, it always stands out to me. Professionally speaking, don’t pressure wash the organic growth from your porch, just mop it away with a 50/50 solution of bleach and water along with a squirt of Dawn dish soap then rinse with a garden hose. Thank you for the video! I’ll have to get some of that paint.
I watched video's (1 & 2) both of them were very helpful, I'm going to the home Depot tomorrow to get what I need to save my Banana trees!! ❤❤❤ Thank you for posting step by step!
Glad I found your video! All the negative comments had me leary of this product. After seeing you refinish your porch I know now those other folks probably did not prepare there surface like you did. Thank you because the porch and walk way will be done soon. Great vid!!!
I don't know. I have read many bad reviews of this product and some say they followed exact instructions. I had also read that it doesn't cover well on some areas, much less than what it says it does and you will need a lot a more product than with paint and it is already a pretty expensive product. I love the look but I am not that confident in the performance and the yielding.
How far from my fence.... (well.... its a corner of my backyard where two fences meet at 90 degrees) should I plant this tree from the corner?? Thank you in advance
Thank you so much. I’m pretty excited. I’ll be glad when I get all of these raised beds built and filled. I have 3 more to build. Then I get to move on to the fun part. I look forward to seeing you there as well
Thank you very much. I’m really excited about being surrounded by flowers. Still working on the hard part, building raises beds and filling with soil, but I’m almost finished
Thank you. Not sure if I told you or not but I’m starting a flower farm. I’ll be selling bouquets at farmers markets and locally. I’m pretty excited (a nice reason to buy more plants 😄)
I cut mine back and mulched. Now that is April I have 2 pups that have sprouted but my big stock is still brown.i paid $60 for my tree. Do I need to trim it or anything or what should I do?
What zone do you live in? If you have uncovered it then you will need to protect it if the weather gets cold. You can cut the brown as long as the root is still alive it will bounce back
It definitely works. I started doing it last year, too. I had so many slips from 2 sweet potatoes that I was able to plant a 4' × 16' bed completely, with them being only 8 inches apart. And I had some to spare. I started with 2 store bought ones in January and planted them out in May.
